Representatives of the Committee will be attending a BADPTC meeting on 30th July 2020, at which the 5 year land supply and Manydown development will both be discussed. Cllr Bloyce noted that the current 5 year land supply figures seem inconsistent; it seems unusual that so few (50) of the Manydown units are anticipated to be completed within the five years, when the Swing Swang Lane (100) and Redlands (150) developments are projected to have contributed far more units within the same timescale (all are still in the design stage currently).
